I built this Mantle / console table from pallet wood. You could also use rough lumber from a bandsaw mill if you have access to it.

Using pallet wood to build furniture has become quite popular, and My sister-in-law wanted a mantle built from pallets so I thought I would give it a shot. I looked at many different designs online but didn’t see any that I liked that would work with the pallets that I had. So I started building, and this is what I ended up with.

I used a few used pieces of lumber that I had that did not come from pallets, but you could also substitute these if you wanted it to be completely made from pallets.

I really encourage you to build some furniture from pallets as it is very rewarding.

Pallet wood is NOT straight, and NOT perfect, but that’s what makes it interesting and fun!

Required Parts to build this project:

Here’s a fron view of the finished product.

A Closeup of the top. I did not have any boards long or wide enough to do the top, so I cut short pieces and put them in this orientation.

A Back view…. As you can see I left a few stickers on to show where the wood came from.

Here’s my Pile of Pallet wood. All Hardwood, Maple, oak and Ash.

More Pallets….
